An Idaho fugitive was caught Saturday after he made a post on Facebook inviting friends to join him at batting practice in Boise.
KTVB TV station in Boise says (http://is.gd/E5RXSw) that Caldwell police officers showed up at the softball field after seeing the post on social media and arrested 22-year-old Joey Patterson.
He was wanted on a felony warrant for violating his probation on a fraud case out of Twin Falls. Patterson was booked into Canyon County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
